There has been a lot of requests from forum members asking "How do I view YouTube content on my Tilt, Mogul, Touch, etc". There are several options to viewing YouTube on your device, and below there are three options. If anyone has any additional sites that have proven useful for viewing YouTube content, please feel free to add it here. If you do add any information, please follow the format shown below, provide a description of the service and cost if any, include step by step down/installation/configuration instructions and verify that any hyperlink you reference is functioning.

HTC Streaming Media Player
Recently, YouTube had updated their site so that additional mobile devices could view their mobile website, so long as you had the appropriate media player. More recent HTC devices like the TyTN II and the Touch came with an application called HTC Streaming Media Player, which allowed users to view sites like YouTube. Unfortunately, a lot of the carrier branded devices (such as AT&T Tilt as to HTC TyTN II) did not include this application. Fortunately for us, the great folks at www.xda-developers.com have extracted this application and created a .cab file out of it. You can find that file here.
Installation:

After you've downloaded the above file, you'll find that the file contained in this .zip file is a .cab file, to install this file, extract it out of the .zip file first, thencopy the .cab fileto your phone (any directorywould be fine, but preferbly in My Document folder, just remember where you put it). This file is intended to work on AT&T 8525 and the AT&T Tilt, other device users should use at your own risk. Still, it's worth a shot. Now go to your windows mobile phone, open "File Explorer"in your programs folder, navagate to the folder where the .cab file is resting, click on it, the program should install, and when it's finished, it'll ask you to restart(accept any warrning messages, if any). Once installed, when you go to http://m.youtube.com and click on any of the video, the HTC Streaming Media Player should automatically pop open, and start buffering and playing the videos.

Troubleshoot:

• If, while browsing m.youtube.com's contents, RealPlayer poped up, that means you didn't properly install the HTC Streaming Media Palyer or you haven't restart your phone after install. Double check on above instruction on how to install the player, and soft-reset your phone.
• If, HTC Streaming Media Player poped up, but it's not buffering and shows "Connecting" forever, your network setting might be wrong. Click on Menu->Options-> and double check "Connect via:" option, see if it is correctly targeted to your interent connection(AT&T GPRS ISP, The Internet, T Mobile DATA etc, etc.). Switch different connections and try them one by one, till you get one that would allow the player to buffer the content

YouTube Pocket
YouTube Pocket is a free PocketPC portal of YouTube that was created by a gentlemen named Anthony Capobianco. He runs the site free of charge to all users and is basically just a port of the full YouTube to PocketPC/Windows Mobile Devices. To use this site, you just need to go to www.ytpocket.com and start browsing.

Required applications for this method:
Install any .cab file follow the installation method described in HTC Streaming Media Player installation instructions above.

Two applications are needed for this site to work. The first is TCPMP Core Player. Choose download Touchscreen Pocket PC version orNon-Touchscreen smartphone version. You will also need to download a Flash Plugin for TCPMP Core Player. All of the instructions to set this up as well as the TCPMP Core Player are on the site. This application works pretty well and is been used for quite some time. Just remember that you have to visit www.ytpocket.com if you want to view the YouTube content.

vTap
vTap is a solution created by Veveo. It aggregates several different video sites into one application. So instead of just viewing YouTube, you can also view ESPN, ABC News, CNN etc. on your device. This also a free service and the client can be downloaded from their website. The client offers incremental search and does a good job of buffering to offer smooth playback. It is also possible to type search terms in 'number mode'.

vTap also has a site http://m.vtap.com which provides MMS based streaming for Windows Mobile devices. The Windows Media player on your HTC phone is capable of playing this stream. This website does not require any additional software to be installed.

Like the desktop versions of Windows there is a Run menu in Windows Mobile. But it is hidden.  To access it hold down the action button and access the context-menu (press-and-hold) button on the clock. 

Selecting "Run" will display the run menu.

In case you are wondering why any one would want to have access to this here is the reason.  Several programs on Windows Mobile devices can accept command line arguments.  But since there is no command line in Windows Mobile there's not a clear way to pass such arguments to a program.  A typical user would never need this, but a developer would.

If you have a smartphone or handheld you don't need to buy a stand-alone GPS navigator; you can save some money by using what you already own.

But unless your device has a built-in GPS receiver, your going to need to buy an accessory that adds this function. These are much less expensive than a full unit, because they don't need a screen or storage or things like that.

The one I use is the Freedom Keychain GPS, but there are several of these available. What these have in common is they talk to your main device over Bluetooth.

Once you have one of these, you're going to have to get it set up with your smartphone or PDA. Unfortunately, the process for doing this with a Windows Mobile device can be surprisingly difficult. That's why I've put together a set of instructions to walk you though it.

Part I: Pair the Two Devices

To start off, you'll need to pair the two Bluetooth devices. This should be easy, especially if you're familiar with the process with other accessories, like maybe an external keyboard.

First off, turn on the GPS receiver and put it in Discovery mode. You may have to refer to the manual to find out how do this with your particular accessory, but most of the external GPS units I've tried have always been been in Discovery mode, so you just have to turn them on.

Next, go to your Windows Mobile device and hit Start > Settings and tap on the Connections tab. Look for the Bluetooth icon and open it.

Tap on "Add new device". Your smartphone/PDA will look for the GPS receiver, and its name will show up when it's found it (see image at right). Tap on the name and then hit the Next button.

Next you'll be asked for the  GPS receiver's passcode. This is another thing you'll need to look up in the manual, but if that's missing there are some standard ones you can try: 0000, 9999, and 1234.

Once the passcode has been accepted you'll be able  to choose a display name for your GPS receiver, and then you'll see a list of services supported by the Bluetooth accessory. Be very sure you put a checkmark next to "Serial Port", then hit the Finish button (see image at left).
Part II: Set a COM Port

Pairing the devices is something many of you are probably familiar with if you have other Bluetooth accessories. The second part of this, though, requires you to set up a COM part, something I've only ever had to do with a GPS receiver.  Don't be worried, this isn't hard. But it's something that cries out to be simplified.

Go into Start > Settings > Connections > Bluetooth > COM Ports

(If  you just got through with Part I of these instructions, just tap on the COM Ports tab at the bottom of the screen.)

Now, tap on "New Outgoing Port", select your GPS receiver from the list of devices, and hit Next. On the next screen, assign this Bluetooth connection a port (I suggest COM6) and check that this a Secure Connection (see image at right). Hit Finish.
Then go into Start > Settings > System Tab > External GPS
Make sure the GPS Program Port is set to something different from the COM Port you just assigned (I suggest COM5).

Next, without leaving the External GPS app, switch to the Hardware tab. Now set the GPS Hardware Port to the port you set in the first step, the one I suggested be COM6.  Set a Baud rate of 4800. (Faster isn't better.)

And you're basically done. You can run the Navigation application of your choice, but in some cases you'll have to tell it which COM port to use. Most of them, however, will know to automatically check the External GPS settings.

GPS Suggestions

If you're in the market for an external GPS receiver for your mobile device, the one I use is the Freedom Keychain GPS Receiver.

And if you have a Windows Mobile smartphone and you want to get started with GPS navigation, I'd suggest you try out Google Maps Mobile. This isn't a web service like the regular version of Google Maps; it's a stand-alone application. It works with a GPS receiver and, best of all, it's free.

The Messaging option in Windows Mobile 6 lets you send photos or even video and audio clips via your phone service. It's a handy and fun way to get those bigger files on their way. But the user interface on the MMS screen for Verizon diverges from the standard format and takes some getting used to. Here's a tip for sending multiple photos in one message:

While it can be handy to receive a notification when you receive a message or call—and especially when you've missed one—it's irritating to see it when the message is no longer new. But that's what happens if you "hide" the notification in Windows Mobile.

So, instead, when the notice is showing, tap "dismiss" in the lower-right corner of the screen.

Interestingly, even if you have deleted the message and your inbox is empty, you can still see the notification pop up if you haven't actually dismissed it. This feature sprouts for new e-mail and MMS messages and for missed phone calls.

The "notification" message switches to "hide" while you're viewing it, which is why the "dismiss" button doesn't grab your eye. But it's there, quietly on the right, waiting for you whenever you decide you've had enough of the reminder.

Just to keep things interesting, if you're using the mobile version of Outlook and a reminder pops up for an appointment or task, that notification has the "dismiss" button on the lower-left side of the screen (with "menu" on the right). Apparently, you're not to be tempted with the option of hiding you're responsibilities.

This post marks the beginning of an 8 week series of various registry tweaks that can be done on your WM5/6 device. Some tweaks are just something to play around with during your leisure time and others will help you to bring out the hidden potential of your device.

In this first post I have put together few registry tweaks to help boost your beloved device’s performance. Just remember, in order to implement these tweaks, you will need a registry editor (i.e. Total Commander or PHM Registry Editor).

Disable Windows menu animation
This will improve performance by disabling unnecessary animation, thus less work for CPU.

• Navigate to [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \SYSTEM\GWE\Menu]
• Change the value of “AniType” from 6 (default) to 0.

Increase Display Cache (Glyphcache)
This will Speed Windows Mobile Pocket PC application response and today plug-ins by assigning more memory to speed up PPC’s displayby assigning more resources to cache fonts and glyphs. However, this will take up a little system memory.

• Navigate to [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\GDI\GLYPHCACHE]
• Change the value of “limit” from 8192 (default)to 16384 or even 32768.

Increase Font Cache

• Navigate to [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Systems\GDI\SYSFNT]
• Under CS change from original 0×0(0) to 0×4000(16384 Decimal value)

Boost Windows Mobile performance up to 20 percent

• [HKLM\System\StorageManager\FATFS] CacheSize = 4096 (Decimal Values)
• [HKLM\System\StorageManager\FATFS] EnableCache = 1 (Decimal Values)
• [HKLM\System\StorageManager\Filters\fsreplxfilt] ReplStoreCacheSize = 4096 (Decimal Values)

This list is in no way complete, and I am sure that many of you probably have your own favorite performance enhancing tips (no HGH, please)  So let us know how you have tweaked your device and how these, or any other, tweaks work out for you.  Do you have any you would like to share? Please let me know how these tweaks worked out for you.

Next week, I will be introducing some fun registry tweaks that will modify how Messaging is utilized. Make sure to check back for them.

Disclaimer: Use these registry tweaks at your own risk. We are not responsible for any system instabilities which maybe caused by tweaks shown here. Do backup registry before implementing these tweaks.
